Frontier Open Models Surge as AI Containment Breaches Spark Alarm

• Security is enforced through three configurable postures: Strict requires human approval for every tool call, Auto uses a classifier to screen external data, and Dangerous disables screening entirely, though a hard-denial policy for destructive commands like recursive deletes applies universally.
• The architecture routes every agent turn through a headless core that can swap between Pi, OpenCode, Codex, and Claude Code via a single wiring configuration file, decoupling deployment from any single vendor.
• Organizations deploy QM using a CLI command that generates a dedicated deployment repository, provisioning infrastructure in the operator's own AWS or Fly.io account without requiring a source code checkout.
• The project explicitly rejects direct code contributions, instead asking developers to submit informal text or markdown proposals in an adrs/ directory for the maintainers to implement.

Is Hermes the best openclaw like agent as they mention running it before?

Also, what are power uses really using openclaw like systems for?

supermdguy (thread)

Still figuring it out, but it's been really convenient to have an always-on agent that has access to internal systems and can be triggered by webhooks. Some examples of what we use it for:

• automatically fixing simple CI failures
• getting production alerts and automatically creating RCAs and a fix PR
• periodically checking slow DB queries and finding ways to speed them up.
• creating charts to answer one-off questions about our data I've tried using it as an on-the-go coding agent as well, but found I prefer more interactive agents, so I can see what the code looks like.

hermes is great to get started with, but it's packed to the gills with stuff you'll probably use one time just to test it. and this eats in to your context so if you're hoping to run it on a lighter-weight local model you'll run in to some trouble. if you go into it planning to customize/thin it out it's solid

joshstrange (thread)

Hermes is what I was using but I still found it annoying I often wanted to operate 1-2 levels deeper.

Yesterday I just decided to try writing my own version (100% just for me, not open source, no monetization plan, incredibly custom) and I've been enjoying working on it so far (I know, I know, it's been a day, honeymoon period and all that).

Part of it is I like building software (even if I'm not writing every line) and part is I like having full control. Turns out (and many people have said this) the basic agent loop really isn't all that special. There are a million levers to pull and what not outside the base loop but that the fun part for me. Trying out different ways to add on to the core concept.

I'm really enjoying being untethered for things like "how will I monetize?" or "how do I make this generic so others can use it?". If I need functionality I just add it in, I don't need to make it infinitely pluggable, etc.

All that said, I'm thankful to things like nanoclaw and then Hermes for exposing me to the core ideas. I just want to put my own spin on it.

• Flint supports pluggable charting backends including Vega-Lite, ECharts, and Plotly, allowing the same specification to render across different libraries.
• The project is designed around the Grammar of Graphics principles, providing a declarative interface that LLMs can generate more reliably than raw charting library code.
• Different charting backends support different kinds of charts, making the abstraction layer useful for switching between, for example, an ECharts Sunburst and a Vega-Lite faceted bar chart.

akst (thread)

Even in the Era AI, GGPlot's API is still the best charting API. The name "Grammar of Graphics" isn't just marketing, they literally sought to write a god damn grammar to was capable of expressing all possible qualitative graphics.

They even wrote a book about how they went about it (not that it speaks to the quality of the API)

est (thread)

unfortunately JSON is doomed to fail in "the AI era"

LLMs are surprisingly bad at generating JSON.

shepherdjerred (thread)

So this is one interface that can render to multiple charting backends? If AI is writing the "Flint", why not just have it write the backend code instead? I'm not sure why I would want pluggable charting backends. I can see an argument for providing simpler APIs for LLMs, though, so that it can be more token efficient for example.

boomskats (thread)

This needs a side-by-side config comparison with something like echarts config schema format. I really don't see the point.

I'm 99% sure the verbosity required in the system prompt to teach non-M$ models this new ever-so-slightly-different-but-not-obviously-necessary chart def abstraction format, and the iterations required to get it right, will outweigh any supposed efficiency gains resulting from using it.

Just stating the obvious.

• AI models can confidently generate code containing full table scans on fifty-million-row datasets or race conditions under concurrent load, requiring CS fundamentals to detect before deployment.
• The industry is experiencing a compression of the lower-end productivity distribution alongside an expansion of the ceiling for senior engineers who use AI as a force multiplier.
• Mechanical requirement-to-code translation is actively declining as AI automates syntax-heavy tasks, shifting engineering value toward architectural thinking and system design.
• Without foundational mental models, developers become entirely dependent on AI pattern matching, which lacks judgment and cannot reliably handle system failure modes or long-term data architecture decisions.

I'm about to throw away multiple months of LLM generated code for one of my side projects. I was really careful writing design specs and it wasn't even a new code base the LLM worked on, but still after several months of AI changes I feel my code degraded more and more into a subtle mess. Hard to explain, each individual change looked good and logical and on the surface the codebase looks fine, but looking at the whole picture everything is subtly wrong in multiple ways. The same goes for where I used AI for existing commercial code bases. I would love to have AI write production ready software for me, but it's just not there yet, there simply are things that good programmers and architects do that cannot be captured by the training loop of current generation LLMs.

I notice the same pattern when using LLMs to write longer text like reports or scientific papers, individually each section they write makes sense but overall the whole document feels off in a hard to describe way. I think it's where you can see the difference between human intelligence and whatever it is LLMs have, it's not the same thing. We are much slower and less able on the small scale but seems we can do some higher level reasoning that is still impossible for LLMs. That always becomes clear when you point an LLM at an obvious flaw it produced and it goes "You are absolutely right!" as if it's obvious in hindsight but when running multiple "Please look for issues" iterations it would never have spotted the issue by itself.

That said I think it will be absolutely fine writing a simple CRUD app for you e.g. using some popular JS framework, Tailwind for styling and a regular ORM, there's more than enough training data available for these things. But then again such software could be purchased before already e.g. as a SaaS template, I don't think LLMs are so revolutionary here, they just replace the template (but to be honest a good hand-written SaaS boilerplate is probably still better than a vibe coded one).

In my experience AI doesn't create the same abstractions as a human developer and you see this very quickly on a complex code base if you let the AI run wild.

Humans, and especially good developers, naturally create really good mental models for how to think about complex systems. We have to. That's ultimately how we build complex systems.

Refactoring (when it's not simply upgrading packages or changing languages) typically happens because we realise there's a better way to model the system we're building and we want our code to reflect the model in our minds.

AIs today simply don't do this. They write code that solves a specific problem, and while they do this well, they don't seem to create well defined and well reasoned models about how to think about complex systems. Or maybe they do, but the AI definitely doesn't say, "hey, I think what you're building is more like x than y, so I want to spend 20 minutes of refactoring your codebase".

I guess to use an analogy, imagine trying to tell someone how to build a bike who has never heard of a bike before, and therefore has no mental model of what a bike is. You'd probably start by telling them to put two wheels on a frame, then to add a seat on top, then to a add some pedals and attachment them to the wheel with a chain... At the end of this process that person might create something bike-like, and it might kinda do the thing you want, but it would likely be very different from the bike someone would build if they had a very clear mental model of what a bike is.

I suspect this is why current AIs rapidly hit a limit after the prototyping stage. I don't think task duration is the right way to think about this limitation. I suspect it's more of a proxy for how complex a task can become before the AI isn't able to create a deep enough model of the problem it's trying to solve, so begins to hit complexity limits and just spits out spaghetti code.

AIs are getting better quick though. I think they'll get there soon, but people are creating a lot of mess in their codebases in the mean time.

There seem to be some people who just want to believe that AI can currently replace human developers (in the future, sure - the CEO will be AI too), despite there being no logical reason to believe this if you are at all aware of the data-driven nature of LLMs.

The AI we have today consists of a generic base model whose software expertise comes from specific training designed to impart specific skills. We don't have AGI - we have a collection of narrow skills that kinda looks like general until you start poking it.

The core software skill today's AI has is coding, which is the low hanging fruit. There is tons of code available to train on, and RLVR for coding is easy - does the code compile and work as intended.

There is also plenty of training data available for some of the other skills you may want the AI to have.

For example, if you want the AI to have some human taste in designing web pages, then there is plenty of training data for that, and it's easy to hire humans to do A/B testing and express their preferences.

You want to the AI to be an expert hacker like Mythos? Just put it in a playground where it can build and test it's exploits and let it learn from that via RL - no problem since it's generating it's own training data.

So, for some of the "collection of narrow skills", such as coding, that you want your wannabe-developer AI to have, training data is no problem. Where it IS a problem is for architecture/design and reasoning about large systems, since:

a) The majority of larger systems, where architecture and design starts to be an issue, are private commercial software. Training documentation is not available.

b) Even for open source projects, designers just don't tend to blog their thought processes - they just silently apply their expertise, and even where design documents exist they tend to document what was produced not WHY (the reasoning data that might let an AI learn to design itself).

c) A lot of the value of good architecture/design is not just about taking user/business requirements (or the vibe coders' request!) and mapping that into something that works, but rather about understanding the future consequences of design decisions - there will always be many ways of doing something, so what criteria do you use to pick one over the other? Which choices will be easy to debug both in development and production, which will be easy to modify for anticipated future requirements, etc. These also tend to be things that are not documented - no training data available - but are rather just the accumulated expertise of the battle-hardened developer.

Of course, an LLM will have a go at anything, but if you want an AI to be a human-equivalent developer, not just a coder, then you need more than just training data for coding - you need training data for each of the individual developer skills you want the AI to have, and training data for some of th

What I actually fear is more subtle: I already do a fair bit of project management and technical leadership. I could do more. Sure, I'd miss the coding, but I also enjoy a lot of the stuff around it.

But the goal is to expand what the AI can do in each generation. At this point, Fable 5 can ace almost any greenfield project a skilled developer might have written in a few days. But it's bad at refactoring, bad at keeping the code clean as it goes, and bad at discovering new insights as it codes. So Anthropic will train Fable 6, using benchmarks like SlopCodeBench that test maintenance over time.

Now what about project management? Train Fable 7. What about product management and talking to stakeholders? Train Fable 8. What about market research and sales? Train Fable 9.

By this point, Anthropic doesn't need to actually release these newest models to the public. Why, that might be dangerous! Instead, they write, "deisgn [sic] a successful software product and sell it plz." And they spin up a million dollars worth of compute and let it crank out SaaSes, iPhone apps, etc., driving entire software companies out of business.

Then they spin up some more instances, and say, "make robot plz" and "try a thousand ways to make yrself smrater." I mean, Qwen and DeepSeek keep finding ways to pack more smarts into a given number of weights. Fable 9 will likely be able to do the same. Hell, Fable 5 can probably run 1,000 machine learning experiments now, just grinding through ideas the way ChatGPT's internal models grind through proofs.

And this is my problem. If it were just programmers losing their jobs, well, sometimes professions die. But what makes you think it will stop with us? How far will this go in the next 4 years? The next 20?

While Stross is currently a neo-Luddite who doesn't believe in the Singularity, his book Accelerando is probably the best work of Singularitarian fiction ever written. It was written in the 2000s, starts in the 2010s, and covers the various decades of this century. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to know how weird this century will be. It's also available for free online. [1]

It's one of my favorite books and the main reason I'm e/acc and many other pro-AI people love it because we view it as utopian sci-fi rather than the dystopian world Stross invented. This might be the best case of the Torment Nexus meme [2] in action.

There's a reason the Singularty was called "the Rapture for nerds" before LLMs were even a thing.

You can find a lot of neo-religious behavior within the AI accelerationist community. Cults coming out of rationalism and fear of the wrath of an angry AI God, making the world right for AI's coming (and even killing the nonbelievers.) Evangelism. Promises of infinite plenty in a post-scarcity heaven. Even a persecution complex - "Luddites" are increasingly demonized, hated, accused of moral depravity for their doubt, and for not abandoning the world, taking up their prompt and following the AI.

How many people post about how AI seems to be draining them of meaning and purpose, that it doesn't live up to the hype, that keeping up with the rituals is exhausting, but feeling that the problem must be with them and not AI? That's a religious person having doubts about the nature of their faith, unable to accept that the God they believe in might not be real, and framing their issues as their own moral failing.

And all of this before the "Singularity" even shows up, and people upload their minds - I mean, meet God in the air.

It's religion, very specifically neo-Christian ideologically. Regardless of any arguments one might make about the practical benefits of using AI in any particular field, it is obviously also religion.

I'd quite like a tool (running entirely locally on my own hardware, with no cloud service and no copyright-thieving grifters making bank on it via subscription fees) that digests a manuscript and derives a scene-by-scene timeline, that I could then query interactively and use to plan my next round of edits. Being able to map out where and when each protagonist and minor character shows up, and see a frequency distribution heat map of names in the manuscript, would be useful.

Interestingly enough, I do this with various books I'm reading. E.g, I'm currently rereading Accelerando and had Claude generate a wiki-like timeline of key events, characters, and salient plot points. That makes it easier to jump around when I want to re-read a section and grok a plot thread that is scattered across chapters. Ironically, it also exposes inconsistencies (or "hallucinations" as some might call them) in the text because the author didn't have an AI proofread the text.

keeda (0 replies)

This is very interesting coming from an author in whose writing autonomous, super-powerful AIs have been a common theme.

Consider his book Accelerando (which I'll take the opportunity to plug again, especially as he's made available for free here: http://www.accelerando.org/fiction/accelerando/accelerando.h...) Not only did I find it quite engaging and thought-provoking, it is also proving rather prescient, and even helpful in decoding some of the things that are happening today.

For instance, in the very first chapter the protagonist spawns agents to go research something in the background and report back to him. And then a year ago, I randomly became curious about a rather involved topic (how fast could we feasibly replace all human labor with robotics), but I did not want to spend time researching so I outsourced it to Google Deep Research which churned away for almost half an hour and came back with a 30 page report with 49 citations via "actual internet searches for verifiable sources." (If you're curious about the conclusion: not for a very long time partly due to critical supply chain constraints.)

After I went through the report, it suddenly struck me: my agent may have executed in a GPU cloud instead of a cybernetic brain, but holy crap I had literally just lived a SciFi scene! A scene that I did not expect to experience in my lifetime!

Which is why I found TFA a bit unexpected. TFA says a few things that I would disagree with. Like, no, AI is not a "stochastic parrot" and I'd assume he'd be primed to realize it. And AI is not competing with authors -- other authors with AI are, and using AI trained on real text to aid writing has been a thing since the days of red squiggly lines in word processors, which TFA even acknowledges.

If you see his last few comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49137863 -- tl;dr I suspect it's his view of the Tech industry and Capitalism that is coloring his views, rather than an objective evaluation of state-of-the-art LLM technology.

• AI novices who lacked prior experience using AI for financial guidance ended up with nearly $100,000 (6%) less wealth at age 60 than those familiar with the technology.
• When recommending investments, LLMs frequently suggested specific providers like Vanguard (6% of responses) and iShares (3.4%) that were mentioned by fewer than 0.4% of users in their original prompts.
• While AI correctly advises reducing stock exposure after age 45, it tends to recommend excessively sharp spending cuts following job losses, even when sufficient savings buffers exist.

I use YNAB for budgeting so I already had all of my financial data in a single source. Exporting the CSVs locally and asking Claude to be my financial advisor legitimately gave me good advice. Not just nagging me to save more (which is always useful), but how to organize my budget categories better, detecting longer term spending patterns I wasn't thinking much about, researching credit card reward programs based on my spending patterns, digging deep into interest and tax rates in way I never bothered etc.

That was the first time I felt like real people's jobs were threatened by AI. Financial advisors and tax accountants better adapt quickly.

At some point, and I think the article hints at it, the real difference will be substance. No matter how it changes its writing style, a lot of problems with it are more about the fact that it usually says nothing. Even if it wrote like your favorite author, if there is no substance, there is no reward as a reader.

Overall, i think its kind of useless to think of ai writing as bad because of ai writing quirks but rather because they imply low effort and a lack of interest even by the writer. That cannot be fixed no matter how they change their syntax and style.

The "problem" is that the people that actually care whether or not something was written by AI don't just want to spot text that was generated by AI. They also want to spot text that was re-written by AI.

"Anthropic doesn't know how to sandbox." Should be the headline. "Huggingface doesn't know how to isolate their customers code execution environments nor handle basic security," should be the prior incidents headline.

Didn't Anthropic just post a bunch of security roles? Makes me wonder if this shit has always been an afterthought (I'm not actually wondering, it 100% was an afterthought).

u/jwm-dev (274 points · permalink)

Yes.

It would imply there exists things that you cannot “abstract” in the way we typically use to understand things.

You can build models that represent reality and predict the future very well in limited contexts, that’s been the driving force behind the latest ML revolution combined with the massive amounts of data accumulated in the 2010s. If these results are genuine, it implies there exists problems for which there is no solution following the same means we’ve largely been using thus far. I.e, there are problems where accumulating large sets of data and essentially doing statistical analysis over them will never lead to a solution. Feels intuitive to just say, but a proof would be pretty profound tbh.

u/Kemoyin25 (145 points · permalink)

Trying to understand a nonsofic group makes me believe they exist, because after a small amount of data my understanding has reached its limit, and no matter how much more data I read I've capped out. Clearly my brain is a nonsofic group

u/Fun_Gur_2296 (183 points · permalink)

Is this a big deal?

u/piponwa (59 points · permalink)

I think if this model can reliably do this kind of work, it's not far fetched that OpenAI can just commit a couple millions in token costs to make discoveries faster than any mathematician can. There really aren't many mathematicians making this kind of discoveries. So even introducing ten thousand of these kinds of proofs is a century of progress. You have to wonder what the use of a human mathematician is if the AI can make discoveries in days that it takes humans lifetimes to make. Of course as we discover what the AI can't do, humans can focus on that. But at the current rate of improvement, by the time you pick a new problem and review enough literature to start to understand it, the next model generation is out and can already solve it.

u/Ormusn2o (50 points · permalink)

I don't think this problem is as prestigious as for example Jacobian conjecture, but this might be much bigger of a deal for another reason. I'm not a mathematician, but from what I personally understand, solving this is not a matter of resources, or large search space, or some unintuitively thinking in a way where most mathematicians just dismissed.

To get this solution, you actually have to have insight into the actual mathematics, to basically find out new mathematics. This might be the first clear example of an AI being straight up smarter than smartest mathematicians, and it not just being an example of someone not running enough compute or mathematicians not looking the right way. This was not a brute force problem.

• The ten mathematical advances cost less than $2,000 in API rates, with actual inference likely below $1,000.
• For comparison, ChatGPT winning the IMO gold medal in 2025 was estimated to cost around $50,000.
• The results include the construction of a nonsofic group, the Maxwell conjecture being proven false, and advances in theoretical computer science.
• Mathematician Terence Tao has expressed optimism about AI's ability to solve math and physics problems in the future.

u/Routine_Object_7380 (184 points · permalink)

What stands out to me is that it cost less than 2000 dollars in API rates to solve all the problems. Subtracting margins, the actual inference cost is likely below $1000. For comparison, ChatGPT winning the IMO gold medal in 2025 was estimated to have cost around 50,000 dollars. Now it would probably cost less than a McDonald's menu.
